Being pregnant on the road definitely changed our trip. Even though we had decided to continue on with the road trip adventure, we did end up making some huge changes. First, we decided we would be more comfortable ending the trip earlier than we had planned in order to be home before enteri...

The next few days in East Otto State Forest were a blast. We discovered we were right by Zoar Valley and we went to explore. The place felt like nature’s version of a water park. We walked in the deep gorges where a shallow river bank created hundreds of miniature waterfalls and shallo...

After Chicago, Corbin and I spent a couple of days on the outskirts of Grand Rapids, MI before heading to Niagara Falls. This would be both of our first time at Niagara Falls, and we could not wait to see the massive waterfall. We chose to visit the Canadian side, since we had heard ...

Van life was a whole new experience now knowing we had a stowaway growing bigger and bigger everyday.

So, we made our way back down through customs (not without a van inspection and lots of questions) and headed to the Chippewa National Forest. &#3...

Before setting off on our van life adventure around North America for about six months, Corbin and I had some preconceived expectations and ideas abo...

We were in Canada for Canada Day, and we couldn’t be more excited! The opportunity to celebrate this day in Winnipeg was awesome, and we had lots of plans. We started off the day with a local neighborhood breakfast our hosts, who were allowing us to boondock on their property, had invited&...

We spent a couple of days in Brandon, Manitoba getting our lives together. We caught up on work, did our laundry at a laundromat, and Corbin spent an entire afternoon removing and reinstalling the in-line fuel pump to its permanent position. Although, not the most exciting couple of days, we felt&#3...
